My “Famous” Mac’n’Cheese

Mac’n’Cheese Recipe

Mac n cheese is the ULTIMATE comfort food in my opinion. There is nothing better than a bowl of creamy, cheesy pasta. I wish it wasn’t super fattening so I could make it more, but it’s still such a nice treat when I do. I have perfected MY version of mac n cheese and want to share the recipe with you guys today. In my opinion, the secret to the perfect mac n cheese is a using a roux, a variety of cheeses, and nutmeg. The mushrooms and chives give it a nice touch, but aren’t necessary if you would rather leave them out. Let me know if you guys end up trying this recipe and what you think of it!

8 oz. uncooked small shell pasta (you could also use macaroni- up to you!)

My absolute favorite food in the world! I love how you put different types of cheeses in this one. Sometimes I like to bake it with bread crumbs on top to give it a crunch. Anyway I wish I could reach through your pictures and eat some!
